      Hi there I am 33 and disabled with a daughter and a husband who has a large amount of medical problems and I am trying to go back to school with an online program becasue i am disabled but the money I get every month isnt enough.I get food assistancve but not much since i make a small income I am punished with very little food help. My bills eat almost every penny i make a month and so there is no extra money to buy food to supplement what the government wont give me. I make 100.00 in foodstamps to feed 3 people for an entire month. This has driven me to get a degree in a career that i think that I might be able to do even with my disability I cannot let my daughter stuggle like this and my entire family hurt like this.  So I have t put all the pain aside,but now i have to figure out how to make it until I can get my degree. I require so much meds that are too expensive not to have insurance so I have to have a position that will provide a good insurance once i graduate. I NEED HELP MAKING THE BILLS AND BUYING FOOD UNTIL I GRADUATE!

          I went back to school when I was 38, got Pell grants etc.  There are colleges online that give you the grants.  I did a webpage while I was going to college:

           It has links to scholarship and grant info.  Hope it helps you.

           PS I like school so much and did well and got into Phi Beta Lamdba, Phi Beta Kappa, and the National Vocational Technical Honor Society.  Then I went back for a second degree.  I had 3 school age children at the time, and it was hard sometimes...but it's all worth it.
